Truly one of the most incredible civilizations with Ancient Egypt. It lasted for thousands of years along the Nile River, with demi-gods known as Pharaohs who gave shape to culture, religion, and daily life. The story of Egypt begins in about 3100 BCE, when it is supposed that King Narmer first united Egypt. This surely was the genesis of something very special.
Between approximately 2686 and 2181 BCE, during the Old Kingdom, the Egyptians built the famous pyramids-the Great Pyramid of Khufu being one of the most awe-inspiring structures ever built. It's hard not to just stop and stare and imagine how on earth they managed to construct such wonders without the help of modern-day machinery.
Possibly a hard time for the land during the First Intermediate Period, but better times were yet to come in the Middle Kingdom. Because of rulers like Mentuhotep II, Egypt revived: art and literature were supported, and the country was once again strong. Thereafter, the New Kingdom is considered its great golden age, with the New Kingdom more famous with Pharaohs such as Hatshepsut, Akhenaten, and Ramesses II, who erected monumental temples and extended Egyptian influence far and wide.
Nevertheless, culture and belief of ancient Egypt morphology persisted, alongside influence on many cascaded civilizations.
Any lover of history, or one who simply wants to find out about one of the oldest civilizations of this world, will discover Egyptian dynasties telling an incredible story tinged with mystery, power, and everlasting beauty and charm. It is a journey that invites anyone to unlock some of the magic of yesterday.
